Hebrews 4:12 NIV
For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword, it
penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts
and attitudes of the heart.

This is comforting. I can so cleverly ration-
alize that I don’t even know my own heart
and motives. But God, in His mercy, has given
us His Word, that is LIVING and ACTIVE. As
we read it, His Spirit will open our eyes to
ourselves. We’re safe! We can repent, we
can change, and rejoice. Thank God —
literally — that we don’t have to depend on
ourselves to figure us out!
